Thanks to Jonathon for sending the notice around. Attached are my top five (six?) talking Points and the more extensive, but rough, draft of comments on the Energy Plan(s). I plan to polish these into the proper format, but would welcome any input and editing you can offer. The Morgantown hearing is Thursday, so please get back to me on this soon.
